Use the popup window in the upper right corner of chrome in order to search within Profiles (with type-ahead feature), Files, Forums and so on. You can also use it directly from the URL navigation bar, by typing "ic" (without any quotes) following by a space then your query.

    Also when editing a group, the Save As button does not work (nothing happens)
  • (2017-10-19, v:6.2.9) Thierry Dalon: Edit Group
    I can not add a member to a group or more precisely I can add but when I click on Update and Reload the group the change is not effective=same users as before.
  • (2017-09-29, v:6.2.9) Thierry Dalon: Support http:// root url
    Hi in our settup, we don't fully support https:// access. The extension does not allow to set the root url as http://. (it automatically overwrite to https://) It would be nice if it were supporting it. Kind regards. Thierry
  • (2017-05-24, v:6.2.8) Thierry Dalon: Quicktag does not work
    The QuickTag feature does not work for me. I get an error "Unable to tag this profile"
  • (2017-03-24, v:6.2.8) Thierry Dalon: Notifications display mentioned names with numbers
    Notifications display mentioned names with numbers/ID instead of short real name only.
  • (2017-03-24, v:6.2.8) Thierry Dalon: Custome Search Engine: extend into subfilters
    Currently custom Search Engine provides "into" subfilters only for: Profiles, Profiles by tag, Files, Bookmarks. I would like also subfilters for Blogs, Wikis etc.
  • (2017-03-24, v:6.2.8) Thierry Dalon: Avoid self-notifications
    Currently you get notifications for updates you are the author of (self-notifications). Adding you to the ignore list doesn't help. It would be great if one could remove them/ have them removed by default.
  • (2016-02-02, v:5.9.3) Sherri Blaszkiewicz: Silencing notifications
    Did you recently change the ability to silence notifications? I used to be able to temporarily stop the pop-ups, but I don't seem to be able to do that now.
  • (2015-11-26, v:5.9) Taj Sohal: Configure the toolbar
    When I try to use the quickshare facility, I get the message I need to configure the toolbar. It takes me to a page to do this but it is not clear what to do to configure the toolbar. Please can you assist
